I decided to start this blog (2010) because my son, John-Robert gave me a One Year Bible for Christmas, the New Living Translation... reading it has changed my life... I post a daily Bible verse on my Facebook page every day and it has been well received... I thought that this would be a wonderful way to share part of what I read each day!... I hope that you enjoy it.



This Year 2012 I am going to do things a little different... not much...just a little. I am again reading through my One Year Bible (for the 3rd time). But I am also using "The Secret Power of Speaking God's Word" by Joyce Meyer. This book is divided by putting scriptures under different categories so they can be used to speak over our life situations. Each day I will read a category of scripture and pick a scripture in that category to write about.

12.12.13

Psalm 131:1-2b Lord, my heart is not proud; my eyes are not haughty. I don't concern myself with matters too great or too awesome for me to grasp. Instead, I have calmed and quieted myself.

My Thoughts
We need to know God enough to trust Him. When we know God we can be calm and quiet... It is an amazing feeling to put something into God's hands and just trust Him to know. So May time we want to figure everything out...so many things are for God alone to know and this is a wonderful thing. To be able to sit back in the peace of knowing God knows and if we trust Him all will be taken care of, in the best way possible.

When we get busy trying to figure it all out we loose our focus on God, then we get confused and we get busy getting in God's way.  Nothing good comes from this! And it so much easier and peaceful to give things over to God, trust His answer and go about our day...joy can overtake us even in the hardest of situations when we learn to do this.

I pray for God's wonderful grace to help me do this more and more with each passing day. I too often get in the way of what God can do by not trusting in Him. When I do trust in Him amazing things happen in my life! I must remember these words!
